    KVM: arm/arm64: Stop leaking vcpu pid references · 591d215a

    kvm provides kvm_vcpu_uninit(), which amongst other things, releases the
    last reference to the struct pid of the task that was last running the vcpu.
    
    On arm64 built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK, starting a guest with kvmtool,
    then killing it with SIGKILL results (after some considerable time) in:
    > cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
    > unreferenced object 0xffff80007d5ea080 (size 128):
    >  comm "lkvm", pid 2025, jiffies 4294942645 (age 1107.776s)

    On x86 kvm_vcpu_uninit() is called on the path from kvm_arch_destroy_vm(),
    on arm no equivalent call is made. Add the call to kvm_arch_vcpu_free().
